Would be a fine argument, if you were dealing with a linear growth of infections in a 'act like normal' case, but you are not, you are dealing with a near (but never quite) exponential spread.That's a good point. I guess we should just go on living like this forever then. I mean, if it saves one life, right? For the children.
So once you take all that away - poof, spread like in italy (although, there mostly spread in old folks homes was the main issue), question - are your hospitals overwhelmed then, yes, no.
Also vaccine is coming (and could take about 2 years to reach required vaccination levels in populations, four years or more in developing countries).
All those discussions will be held after vaccines have become more or less widely available.
Because everything about structural policy making is about 'informed risk taking' - but 'hey lets try it with no fallback, and ignore the scenarios that happened in other countries around the world' is not informed risk taking..
